Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?
Lord Shaxx will task you with defending the Last City in the activity.
By default, it’ll pair you with two random players.
The structure is fairly straightforward.
On occasion, you’ll see bonus objectives, such as splinters to destroy.
Tackling these optional tasks can make for a speedier process all around.
This always happens on the 10th wave to finish the set.
This can go on up to 50 waves.
Here’s what you oughta know about them and how to make the best use of each.
When you approach them, you’ll be given the name of the gadget as well as its cost.
You get scraps simply by defeating enemies.
Since Onslaught is wave-based, you’re likely to take down all enemies that appear solely to make progress.
From there, it’s a matter of thinking exactly how to spend them.
I recommend focusing onturrets.
Sure, at 2,000 scraps a pop, they’re costly.
As for upgrades, the first costs 4,000 scraps, while the second asks for a hefty 6,000 scraps.
Yes, it’s a lot.
Tripwires are also quite useful, and cheaper at first, costing just 1,000 scraps each.
Decoys can be useful too, but I wouldn’t prioritize them over turrets or tripwires.
If you have spare scraps and good defenses in place already, give them a go.
If not, keep on upgrading or expanding your current foundation.
Just remember that defenses are a complement–your fireteam will be the one doing most of the job.
